Harold Washington College offers strong programs in many art disciplines including visual arts – 2D, 3D, Architecture, Digital Multimedia, Photography and Printmaking. Each year, Harold Washington College’s curator puts on multiple exhibitions in the President’s Gallery, featuring diverse work from regional, national and international artists and providing students with an opportunity to interact with professional artists.

Alogia Projects was formed with the idea that art belongs to experience, that the moment of seeing places one in communication. Not all artwork moves or transcends, but artwork can improve and refine the habits of life. Alogia Projects artists are dedicated to making artwork accessible to all who wish to participate.
